What is EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul and Why we need it?
EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul refers to the Main router and the satellite device are connected via an Ethernet cable to establish an EasyMesh network. Ethernet Backhaul offers a more reliable and faster option compared to EasyMesh with Wi-Fi, ensuring a robust and efficient EasyMesh network setup.
How to create EasyMesh with Ethernet Backahul?
Pre-configuration Notice:
1.Ethernet Backhaul is supported only when both your main router and satellite extender support EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul.
>>Router Support List of EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul
2.The extender needs to be under wireles range extender mode, not Access Point.
3.Once the Ethernet backhaul is successfully established, the wireless backhaul will be automatically disconnected. Conversely, if the Ethernet backhaul connection gets interrupted, the devices will automatically reestablish the mesh network using the wireless backhaul.
Scenario 1: Change wireless backhaul to Ethernet backhaul
Scenario 2: Add a new satellite Range Extender to EasyMesh
EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul stars with RE315_V1, which features an Ethernet Port with a speed of up to 100 m/s. This functionality will gradually be extended to other EasyMesh-supported extenders. We encourage you to share your feedback below regarding your current models of EasyMesh extenders and routers. This feedback will help us prioritize the implementation of EasyMesh on different product models.

Hello@John1964 ,
We have not yet received any information on the firmware release date or when it will be released. Please stay tuned for the next update.
Thanks for your kind understanding.

Can I download a firmware update for another country that supports Ethernet backhaul but only supports RE605X V3 or V4 amplifiers? Has anyone tried this? Or will it definitely cause hardware damage? I don't know how much the hardware differs between the V2, V3, and V4 versions. If it's the same, it's worth trying. Please advise if you've already explored the process of flashing firmware for other device versions.

Hello@Dzejson90 ,
Thanks for contacting our community!
Firmware for different hardware versions is generally not compatible with each other.
Model and hardware version availability varies by region. Please refer to your TP-Link regional website to determine product availability.

I understand what you're saying and I've already checked it, but I'm asking because there's no European firmware version that supports Ethernet backhaul, but there is for other countries, such as the US, for versions V3 and V4. I thought someone had already discussed flashing a different version.

I'm experiencing slower speeds with ethernet backhaul (60-150Mbps) than with wireless backhaul (250-300Mbps) on my RE705X in easymesh mode. My main router usually achieves speeds of 280-320Mbps.
It just doesn't make sense to me because shouldn't I be theoretically experiencing better speeds with ethernet backhaul?
This is also true with I use Access Point mode with ethernet backhaul. But the speeds are actually worse in this mode.
----------------------------------------------
Main Router: AX53 V1 US
Satellite: RE705X V2 US
Both devices with up to date firmware and both confirmed to support Easymesh with ethernet backhaul and this is confirmed in the settings. Connected by CAT6 ethernet cable. 300Mbps internet plan.
